An unusual case of unilateral pulmonary edema with contralateral bronchial obstruction.

A 61 year-old man presented with progressive shortness of breath. Computed tomography scan of the chest showed diffuse ground glass infiltrates and dilated pulmonary vessels in the right lung in addition to bilateral pulmonary masses with obstruction of the left main pulmonary bronchus. The patient underwent bronchoscopy with destruction of the tumor obstructing the left main pulmonary bronchus, resulting in clinical improvement and resolution of the right pulmonary infiltrates.

Qualitative assessment of cervical spinal stenosis: observer variability on CT and MR images.

Background And Purpose: Several studies have been undertaken to validate quantitative methods of evaluating cervical spinal stenosis. This study was performed to assess the degree of interobserver and intraobserver agreement in the qualitative evaluation of cervical spinal stenosis on CT myelograms and MR images.

Methods: Cervical MR images and CT myelograms of 38 patients were evaluated retrospectively.
